Why I went veggie... part 4

"Because I realised that you don't have to eat meat and then I saw how the animals were killed, I felt really sad and guilty that I used to eat them." - Caitlin Golding (11)

"At first I was a veggie because my mum only gave me vegetarian foods, but now it is because I don't want to eat any animals. People don't need to eat meat as there are plenty of other foods we can enjoy. Vegetarian food is better for you, and I like being fit and healthy." - Michael Cumming (11)

"Because I don't like the fact that it is animals being killed for food! How would we like it if a chicken killed us for dinner?" -
Eanna Bedser (11)

"Mum has been a veggie since she was my age. My dad has not eaten meat since being with my mum!" - Lucy Fellows (12)

"I was born a vegetarian." - Elliott Humphreys (13)

"My mum is a vegetarian. I want to keep on being a vegetarian because I don't want to eat animals. There are loads of other things we can eat instead." - John Cumming (8)
